Embodiment 1

[0044] Embodiment 1: as Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a 3D printer for printing a glass body, including a printer, a scanner 5, a melting kiln 6, a raw material supply tank 7, a cyan pigment bucket 8, a magenta pigment bucket 9 and a yellow pigment bucket 10;

[0045] The printer includes a body 1 and a printing chamber 18. The body 1 is equipped with a library, and graphics to be printed can be selected from the library. The body 1 serves as the control system and computing system of the entire printer, controlling the precise and automatic operation of the entire 3D printer. The body 1 is provided with a control panel 4, and the control panel 4 is provided with control buttons 4-1 of different colors.

[0046]A nozzle 2 is arranged at the bottom of the body 1, and a bottom plate 3 is arranged under the nozzle 2 corresponding to the nozzle 2. The nozzle 2 squeezes the glass water out onto the bottom plate 3 to form a workpiece 20 to be processed. A las...

Embodiment 2

[0053] Embodiment 2: as Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides a printing method of a 3D printer, comprising:

[0054] S101, adding waste glass to a melting furnace for melting, heating to 1850-1950°F, and generating raw materials required for printing;

[0055] S102. Input the graphics to be printed through the scanner, if the graphics are stored in the library of the body, then directly call the graphics; if the graphics are not stored in the body, scan the printed object through the scanner, scale it down and save it Body gallery;

[0056] S103. The machine body calculates the amount of raw materials required according to the input graphics and the size and thickness of the printed object, and controls the amount of raw materials flowing from the melting kiln into the raw material supply tank through the first valve; the amount of raw materials added to the raw material supply tank 7 is large The amount of raw materials required for printing graphics is 5-10ml...

Abstract

The invention discloses a 3D printer for printing a glass body and a printing method for the 3D printer. The 3D printer comprises a printer, a scanner, a melting kiln and a raw material supply trough, wherein the printer comprises a body and a printing bin, a sprayer is arranged at the bottom of the body, a bottom plate corresponding to the sprayer is arranged below the sprayer, and the sprayer and the bottom plate are arranged in the printing bin; the body is connected with the scanner; the melting kiln is communicated with the raw material supply trough through a drainage tube, and the raw material supply trough is communicated with the sprayer through a drainage tube. According to the 3D printer for printing the glass body and the printing method for the 3D printer, waste and useless glass can be used for 3D glass printing as a printing material; a glass material has special value in terms of hardness, optical quality, economy and universality in the field of additive manufacturing; the selection range of printing materials is widened, waste glass is profitably utilized, and the practicability is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of 3D printers, in particular to a 3D printer for printing glass bodies and a printing method thereof. Background technique [0002] 3D printing technology first appeared in the United States in the mid-1990s. At that time, inventor Enrico Dini (Enrico Dini) designed a magical printer based on 3D technology——3D printer. Lamination and other methods, a technology to achieve rapid prototyping. Since then, the concept of printing has developed, expanded and risen rapidly. At present, 3D printing technology has become one of the major symbols of the "third industrial revolution". 3D printing, also known as incremental manufacturing, is to print rather than process various industrial and daily products through printers. The word "printing" is used because its principle is similar to that of a traditional printer, and its "printing" is done through computer operations. But there are many differences in essence. For examp...
